My first brushless build. Went pretty smooth. Wanted to hit sub 250g AUW.
Have been flying it for 3 months now. Only ruined an FC, but that was due to bad mounting of the RX on top of it. The motors might not sound the best anymore, but they definately get me around, and for the price, they are really excellent value. 15+ hours flight time so far.
The frame is awesome btw! Pretty cheap and super durable. Roomy as well.
I like the Falcon 120 props the most from the ones I've tried. They provide the best balance between (no) noise, crash-proofiness, performance and efficiency.
Flying it on 850mah 3S Turnigy Bolts. 246g AUW.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Good job keeping the price down! How are those motors? I looked at them in the past for a budget 3", but I just wasn't sure.
Well. Everybody says "don't buy budget stuff", but I just wanted to get flying asap. They don't sound very nice anymore and are beat up for sure. But they hold up. I could probably get more punch and such - but on 3s for some plain fun and cruising among small trees and such... Well. They do the job. And they are excellent value for the price. I've flown them for about 15 hours by now, still trucking...
You definitely got your money's worth then! Sounds like they're just fine for the price.
